The reason behind GD is to check knowledge and most importantly communication.

Taking GD for campus placement has become fad. Companies which require technically proficient people should put more emphasis on technical knowledge not on good communication. Because many intelligent people who are good in technical knowledge get sidelined by people who are good communicator but not equally good with technical knowledge.

So GD should be conducted depend on profile. If the demand of a profile is communication then GD is must.

GD is better because of that we can know the thoughts and we can know the thinking of the people.

Because of GD people can speak between many people and person can overcome his problem of speaking in between public.

GD is a good process if a company wants to choose the correct candidate because a company can know and check the thinking ability of the candidate.

GD is good if a candidate wants to leave a good impression on company, Interviewer. Company get to know that this person's thinking ability is of which level.

Hello everyone,

GD round for campus placement is depend upon for which job it is considered. For a web designer it is important to have a knowledge of web designing rather than communication skills. GD is used to evaluate a person how he explain a thing in a group, how his communication skills is.

And for a web designer it is important that he has knowledge of his field. There should not be eliminate that person who is not able to speak in group but he has knowledge of that field for which he is hiring.

Thank you!

Hello friends,

I would like to add my words GD is an important part of campus recruitment because as an individuals candidate are able to put there point of views & also check that how candidate can stands for there words till the end of the discussion as after some of the others opinion candidate are feel like if there words are true or not.

So, it shows that how much you are confident about your words no matter whether is it right or wrong. Its all about your level of confidence for what you say.

GD can be a good option to select cadets but not best. If we compare GD at college placements or some recruitment places to the person who are sitting at higher position discussing India's problem and reached a common consensus by taking every person opinion for improvements equally but at college level cadets are thinking about their job only try to participate in GD create fish market doesn't reach consensus or proper views exchanging thus it fails but at national level it works very efficiently.

According to me, GD should be a part of campus placement. The students will get more interactive. They can share their ideas with other people. GD shows that how a student is updated with the current trends, how he is able to handle the situation, how he is able to lead the group. He becomes realistic. And the best thing about GD is that students get selected on their talent basis. It is totally faring process to eliminate the students who are not deserving for the position in the job.

Thank you.

In my opinion, GD should be a part of campus because so many students studied their graduate in their mother tongue, but communication skills are most important nowadays but so many having technical skills but due to GD effect so many are loose their chances in their interviews.

So GD should be the next to technical round.

If he has technically perfect means company reaches higher levels then he will improve the communication skills automatically.

But GD should compulsory be a part of campus.

Good afternoon friends this is Ravi.

In my words the GD is definitely best criteria to select wonderful minds into any organization. The organization will look the persons with two traits. First ability to communicate with the group, second enough technical knowledge.

As the above people saying that the technically sound persons will loss, I accept their words since GD alone can't judge them. Based on the organization they must follow in conduction of technical before GD or after GD.

Thanks.

This is kind of my favourite topic I think no in GD sometimes we see a big quarrel happen and judging an individual on 10 minutes or 20 minutes of GD talk is false.

Also in the perspective of the Person who is conducting GD, I think finding the right candidate is the hardest thing so taking a personal interview might it will take 2-3 times taking a personal interview is time-consuming but I think finding the right candidate consumes time is worth instead of taking GD.

Thank You.

Hi friends,

I think GD is good process for recruitment but it should not be filtering process. It checks communication skills your attitude, confidence level, behavior, way of speaking etc. And these all things are important for good employee but in spite of all thee things some students are afraid of GD they can't speak well in front of people but technically they are superb so the interviewer should judge the student not only with GD but also also with his/her interview also.
